From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050323 Firefox/1.0.2 Fedora/1.0.2-1.3.1 Description of problem: I have an old machine without X, but redhat-config-nfs doesn't run. It gives this gobbledegook message instead which I take to mean in English that it must have X installed to run. Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/redhat-config-nfs/redhat-config-nfs.py", line 23, in ? import mainWindow File "/usr/share/redhat-config-nfs/mainWindow.py", line 21, in ? import nfsBackend File "/usr/share/redhat-config-nfs/nfsBackend.py", line 23, in ? import gtk File "/usr/src/build/147273-i386/install/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/gtk/__init__.py", line 19, in ? RuntimeError: could not open display Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): redhat-config-nfs-1.0.1-3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. ssh to a machine without X 2. try redhat-config-nfs 3. Actual Results: raceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/redhat-config-nfs/redhat-config-nfs.py", line 23, in ? import mainWindow File "/usr/share/redhat-config-nfs/mainWindow.py", line 21, in ? import nfsBackend File "/usr/share/redhat-config-nfs/nfsBackend.py", line 23, in ? import gtk File "/usr/src/build/147273-i386/install/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/gtk/__init__.py", line 19, in ? RuntimeError: could not open display Expected Results: I should have been able to configure the NFS server. Additional info:
This is by design. There is no tui component to redhat-config-nfs. If you have the X-libs installed, and ssh to the system w/ X forwarding, you can run the application on a remote X server.
